Copy all photos / videos periodically to my linux server where everything important lives and gets backed up. Everything else gets nuked.

If I change phone I log into Google, start from scratch and download the apps I need / log in wherever I need the first time I need to.

I'm not very happy with using Google / Gmail for contacts and as a login manager, I've been postponing de-googling for 5+ years. The only promise I made to myself is that I'm not giving them a cent (and I keep living with 3% free space).
